SmartConfig demo for Beaglebone Black with WL18xx cape

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

I want to test SmartConfig with WL18xx cape on a Beaglebone Black. There is a demo wiki that uses CC3000 on BBB but I read that the WL18xx supports it. Is there a demo application that I need to run on BBB? If so where can I get it? In the wiki I found, they have you build "./web" but I can't seem to find it.

    Hi,

    The R8.4 release supports SmartConfig.
    The release notes is available in: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WiLink8_Release_Notes/R8.4
    The SmartConfig demo guide is available in: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WiLink8_Feature_Guide/Smart_Config

    You should be able to use the CC3200 app as well.

    Regards,

    Thanks. This is what I was looking for but the instructions seem a bit poor.

    How do you start STA role? 

    I'm too sure if 3 follows 2 or if 2 is encrypted step while 3 is un-encrypted.

    There is an abundance of spelling and grammar error.

    Regards

    Hi Ron,

    Appreciate your feedback about the wiki. We will see how we can improve it. 
    To start STA role: wpa_supplicant -d -Dnl80211 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -B

    Great thanks. I get an OK after step 3, how do I know that it has completed. I'm using the iPhone app to help in configuration with beaglebone black and the cape, what would go under device name?

    Hi Ron,

    The WL8 device does not show up under the devices list. But your beaglebone black should be able to connect to the AP. You should see some logs like below:

    root@am335x-evm:~# [ 1675.057258] wlan0: authenticate with 00:16:b6:da:0e:c6
    [ 1675.065813] wlan0: send auth to 00:16:b6:da:0e:c6 (try 1/3)
    [ 1675.094620] wlan0: authenticated
    [ 1675.098828] wl18xx_driver wl18xx.0.auto wlan0: disabling HT as WMM/QoS is not supported by the AP
    [ 1675.108290] wl18xx_driver wl18xx.0.auto wlan0: disabling VHT as WMM/QoS is not supported by the AP
    [ 1675.126777] wlan0: associate with 00:16:b6:da:0e:c6 (try 1/3)
    [ 1675.222021] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:16:b6:da:0e:c6 (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=5)
    [ 1675.236300] wlan0: associated
    [ 1675.241119] wlcore: Association completed.


    Also, the iw wlan0 link should give something like below:

    root@am335x-evm:~# iw wlan0 link
    Connected to 00:16:b6:da:0e:c6 (on wlan0)
    SSID: Linksys-2.4
    freq: 2437
    RX: 8348 bytes (25 packets)
    TX: 97 bytes (2 packets)
    signal: -77 dBm
    tx bitrate: 1.0 MBit/s

    bss flags: short-slot-time
    dtim period: 1
    beacon int: 100
